Gragas vs Rek'Sai

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Gragas should manage mid-tempo jungle control focusing on objective disruption and counter-ganks against Rek'Sai's early aggression.
Prioritize disrupting Rek'Sai's early tunnel pressure by holding flank angles and contesting river vision to prevent her from snowballing.

Jungle Plan

Path for early Scuttle control and contest river vision when nearby lanes can assist or have priority.
Invade Rek'Sai's jungle only when lanes show lane priority and Rek'Sai is spotted on the opposite side.
Use (R) to break enemy objective formations and deny Rek'Sai smite access during dragon and Rift Herald setups.

Danger windows

Respect Rek'Sai's early invade and gank windows before level 6 when her tunnel mobility and knockup are most threatening.
Avoid isolated river fights without vision control, as Rek'Sai's knockup and burst can punish poor positioning.
Be cautious during forced smite fights on dragon or Herald where Rek'Sai's early numbers advantage can overwhelm.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear to maintain health and look for early Scuttle fights only if nearby lanes have priority.
Avoid slow full clears to prevent Rek'Sai from gaining tempo with faster clears and early invades.
Use (E) to disengage or interrupt Rek'Sai's early ganks and hold river control to contest her tunnel paths.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to isolate Rek'Sai or disengage her all-ins, forcing her to respect your displacement.
After first AP or tank item, leverage burst or durability to win short trades and force Rek'Sai into unfavorable fights.
At level 3, execute full trade combos with (E) stun and (W) damage reduction to punish Rek'Sai's early gank attempts.

Win conditions

Convert jungle tempo into objective control by using (R) to disrupt Rek'Sai's positioning and secure dragon and Rift Herald.
Counter-gank effectively by tracking Rek'Sai's tunnel paths and timing (E) stuns to turn fights in your favor.
Deny Rek'Sai free farm by invading when lanes have priority and punishing her after missed engages or when her cooldowns are down.
